I must say that your icon is among the best I've seen so far. I even replaced my own creation with yours :)
I have spent the past few days looking at the icon in the dock, and there has been something slightly irritating about it. Here's how I think it could be improved further.
1. The 'head' is too big on the figure, and I think it lacks features, such as eyes and a smile. ( Is it just me that is reminded of a children's program from ages ago where the characters were big colourful blobs ? )
2. The icon looks a bit too flat and 2 dimensional compared to the others in the dock. It needs a little bit of 3D effects done to it to make it fit in better.
Perhaps you could provide us with a couple of source files, one of the background papers and one of the figure, so that we could have a play around with it ? Never used inkscape, and is not too keen on installing it either, so perhaps you could provide them as .png's or some other common format for Illustrator/Freehand/Photoshop.
Kind regards,
Mats
